Remember the Hello Kitty digital frame with 3G technology? These frames might not be as neat as that one, but it's Hello Kitty all the same and very adorable.

Make a temperature sensitive coaster for your next DIY project
I'm one of those people who just can't stand beverages being too hot. I need my tea/coffee to be luke warm. But it's hard to tell unless you take a sip and by then your tongue can suffer a third degree burn! However, you can avoid that if you have some colored LEDs and a temperature sensor, because that's all you need to build a handy temperature sensitive coaster. The one featured in this article turns red if the drink is very hot, green if it is perfect and white when it has gone too cold. Also, you can get a tilt switch to re-calibrate the "just right" setting every time you make a drink. I need to thank whoever came up with this brilliant yet easy to put together concept. You can check out the detailed and step by step instructions at Instructables.

Sliced Bread Notebooks - The best thing since sliced bread
I had no idea that people still use notebooks (the kind made with paper), but apparently they do. I think since the use of traditional notebooks is dying out and that's why designer has tried to come up with a concept that's the best thing since sliced bread. It's a Sliced Bread Notebook of course which features 12 notebooks that have an uncanny resemblance to a loaf of bread. They are numbered 1-12 for the corresponding months. So you can vent out your feelings in it daily or prepare budgets or just doodle away. The design is great and I think the notebooks are perfect for jotting down recipes. Just make sure your kids don't mistake it for real bread and try to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Dell fails to impress with its women oriented website – Della
Since days gone by men have tried in vain to answer the question –What does a woman want? All have failed to unlock the mystery behind a woman’s tastes and needs. Even the most well known computer manufacturing company Dell has tried to unravel this mystery (for profit motives of course) through its women centric website-Della. And like many great men, this site too has failed to get a definite response and has been criticized on various grounds. The website that features high tech 'tips' that recommend calorie counting, finding recipes, and watching cooking videos as ways for women to get the most from a laptop has been deemed as 'ridiculous' and 'gimmicky! Seriously, wouldn’t it be much better if Dell laid more emphasis on functions than try and sell Laptops by encouraging gender based stereotypes? Yes, it is flattering to know that companies care about the women consumer’s but this marketing strategy is definitely not right.
Bedfan will keep you cool under the sheets

This amazing device blows a cool breeze under the covers.

Child's 18th birthday can bring on a heavy bill sans celebrations
Parents should beware that they don't go overboard spending for their child's 18th birthday bash. It might seem like an important year, but do remember that it's a year that is going to bring along many expenses with it. A survey suggests that 18 is the year when you have to make some big investments in university fees, living expenses, clothes, driving lessons and a car and this mounts up to a rather large figure of $29,100. This amount has been calculated keeping in mind a monthly bill of $2000 plus around $4,300 for a second-hand car. It seems the biggest dent creator is the rent for an 18-year-old at university - $840 a month - followed by $522 a month for tuition fees. Other costs include $125 on food and $95 on clothes and accessories. Let's not forget the mobile bill which can go up to $80 a month, plus other expenses that cover their hobbies and gadgets which can cost $96 per month.

SOS - Stress Outsourced: Concept clothing to help you relieve stress
Carnaven Chiu, Xiao Xiao, Keywon Chung, and Peggy Chi, all students at the MIT have developed a unique concept of interactive clothing that promises to help you get rid of stress. Known as SOS - Stress OutSourced, it is a peer-to-peer network that allows anonymous users or friends in social communities like Facebook or Twitter to send each other therapeutic massages to relieve stress. All you have to do when stressed is send a stress signal to other members from your group wearing the same SOS enabled jacket. The friends on receiving your stress signal will respond by sending back a haptic massage signal. There are also plans to develop a signal that will help send anonymous massages to the stressed person. Looking at such concepts makes me believe that the Jetson’s era is finally dawning upon us. This concept could be the pioneer for various other projects.
Geek Clock: For geeks only
Geeks kindly pay attention (especially budding mathematicians) because this next product is surely going to blow you away. Known as the Geek Clock, all the numerals on this timepiece are replaced by their equivalent notations! So if you want to know what time it is, you have to know your square roots and fractions and even HTML codes really well. Definitely not for duds or dudes, this watch is sure to make geeks into heroes. (Because only a geek can help you decode the codes and understand what time it is). I personally would hate to be trapped in a room with this timepiece. But since the makers have provided a cheat list along with the watch, even duds will be able to decipher the time.
